What's up Trainiacs? This is Triathlon Taryn. This is no triathlon Kim, also known as NTK.

In my 20s, I was 215 pounds and I was unhappy working the desk job I was at. Now I'm a 941 Ironman athlete who, with your much appreciated attention, gets to make a living in the sport that I love.

Through this podcast and our ever popular YouTube channel, we bring you triathlon stories, science,

and training from amazing people around the world to help you get to your start lines confident

and your finish lines strong.

And as the resident non-triathlete, I try to keep this show fun and accessible for everybody.

Let's do it.

What's up, Trainiac?

Today's podcast is brought to you by our new book Triathlon Running Foundations, a simple system for every triathlete to finish the run feeling strong, no matter their athletic background. And the topic of

today's podcast is actually triathlon running. This book has been out for, I want to say about a month

now, and the reviews have been really good. We've got 100% five-star reviews on Amazon on

good reads. It's also rated really high. And the idea about the five-star reviews on Amazon on Goodreads.

It's also rated really high.

And the idea about this book is that we wrote it because, frankly, I'm actually a junk runner.

And you might be thinking, well, why would you write a book about running then, Taryn?

The reason for that is that a lot of

people say things like, I'm just not built to run, or I can't improve my running because

every time I run more, I get injured. Or my running is what it is. I'll just focus on gaining

time on the bike. I actually was that athlete for a lot of years.

If you look at me, I'm like a thick Scottish dude. I've actually gone and got like body scans

that show that my bone density is like four extra pounds of bone in my body because it's so,

so dense. It's literally off the chart.
